And what about Jack and Mary?


Mary is her usual sweet, easygoing self. I think we have had a couple days where she wasn't feeling 100% but thankfully, she is still nursing and that helps keep dehydration at bay.

Jack has been so wonderful! He also really wants the girls back at school. He misses dropping Grace off in the morning and watching for both of them after school. It is so sweet. This morning, he woke me up and asked me if I could feed the animals while he makes breakfast. I thought, sure, if that means a few extra minutes of precious sleep! (I am working on about 13 hours in 3 nights at this point) When I got up, he had not only made his breakfast, he made my toast AND his sandwich for his lunch! I am so proud of him. So many times we focus on what they DON'T do (Jack, pick up your clothes, turn off your light, put your lunch dishes away, etc.), so I thought I would stop for a minute to think about how blessed we are and what a GOOD kid he is (as are the girls :))! Thank you, God!

Glad that you have help with the kids being sick, Jack is such a sweet boy. Hope everyone is back to school soon. Adam is missing Grace a lot!!!
